Title: The Epic Final Fantasy VIII Medley
Post by: MarcP on 2014-04-22 00:00:45
Hey everyone !

I've been covering FF music for a few years now, in the form of big progressive rock medleys, and my most recent ( and biggest one ) based on FFVIII was finaly released a few weeks ago !
Thought some of you might enjoy it ;)

The whole medley covers about 30 tracks from the OST and features many talented guest musicians from the U.S, France, Spain, Japan and Egypt !

Here's the link for the first part : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFW_zaXFzcs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFW_zaXFzcs)

That was a refreshing change from me listening to the Esthar theme for the last 2 hours :/

Wow!! Fantastic effort. 20 minutes and only part 1?  :o

Thanks guys !

The whole piece lasts about 40 minutes, since that was quite big I decided to split it and make two separate releases.

Part 2 will require a bit of customed ff8 sequences, which is why I landed on this forum ;)

Part 2 still being in the works, I thought it'd be cool in the meantime to take a few short songs which didn't make it into the final tracklist and release them as full-length covers !

Here is Mods De Chocobo ;)

Wow, that's impressive on so many levels!! The editing is prime, it really makes these stand out from all the other FF music videos.

Looking forward to seeing more.  :D

Nobody can stop you from ripping the track from YouTube, but consider purchasing it off loudr, its only 5 bucks and you'll be helping him out.  Plus you can purchase it in lossless quality which is a mega plus for freaks like me :D

Of course, I want to record it in CD quality man. Anything can be compared with a FLAC :D

Mark, any chance you would consider collabing to make a FF8 remaster soundtrack pack for the Steam-Release/PC2000? Or maybe do like 1 track or something?

I would very much like to use that Chocobo theme you did :D
Title: Re: The Epic Final Fantasy VIII Medley
Post by: MarcP on 2014-12-02 23:47:04
Well, I would need to record a long-version of each of the tracks, which would be a lot work ^^
But feel free to use my version of the Chocobo Theme of course !
And The Oath too if you want ;)

That is excellent! Well!! By all means, if you ever decide to record a track, not saying make it an ongoing project, feel free to let us know if you don't mind us using it for potential alternatives to the original soundtrack :) Your work is ace! Loved your IX medley, and I'm glad you got around to the eighth.

Very cool :) Well done.

One small note - I recall the lyrics were not by Uematsu.

Awesome work, man! I imagine it was quite some work to create a remix like this.

That is absolutely correct !
Thanks for reminding me of this, I just added the proper credits in the descritpion box ;)

Thank you !
It was a lot of work indeed, especially mixing it since it contains a few hundreds of tracks ^^

Sounds awesome!

The biggest song I ever made consisted of just over 100 tracks, a couple of hundred is just nuts!! With all that automation, it soon builds up!!
